GENERAL INSTRUCTIONSSpecific warnings and cautions to inform about potential damages to people and machine are shown below.

DANGER!Before performing any machine maintenance, repair, cleaning or replacement procedure, disconnect the –battery connector and turn the main switch to “0”.This machine must be used by properly trained operators only. –Keep the battery away from sparks, flames and incandescent material. During the normal operation explosive –gases are released.Do not wear jewels when working near electrical components. –Do not work under the lifted machine without supporting it with safety stands. –Do not operate the machine near toxic, dangerous, flammable and/or explosive powders, liquids or vapours: –This machine is not suitable for collecting dangerous powders.Battery charging produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. Keep the cover open during battery charging and –perform this procedure in well-ventilated areas and away from naked flames.

WARNING!Carefully read all the instructions before performing any maintenance/repair procedure. –Before using the battery charger, ensure that frequency and voltage values, indicated on the machine serial –number plate, match the electrical mains voltage.Do not pull or carry the machine by the battery charger cable and never use the battery charger cable as –a handle. Do not close a door on the battery charger cable, or pull the battery charger cable around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine on the battery charger cable.Keep the battery charger cable away from heated surfaces. –Do not use the machine if the battery charger cable or plug is damaged. If the machine is not working as it –should, has been damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to the Service Center.To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, do not leave the machine unattended when it is plugged –in. Before performing any maintenance procedure, disconnect the battery charger cable from the electrical mains.Do not smoke while charging the battery. –

WARNING!Always protect the machine against the sun, rain and bad weather, both under operation and inactivity –condition. Store the machine indoors, in a dry place: This machine must be used in dry conditions, it must not be used or kept outdoors in wet conditions.Before using the machine, close all doors and/or covers as shown in the User Manual. –Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children. –Use only as shown in this Manual. Use only Clarke’s recommended accessories. –Take all necessary precautions to prevent hair, jewels and loose clothes from being caught by the machine –moving parts.Pay attention to the machine moving parts. When using the machine, the deck can abruptly turn by 180°. –Do not use the machine on incline. –Do not tilt the machine more than the angle indicated on the machine itself, in order to prevent instability. –Do not use the machine in particularly dusty areas. –Use the machine only where a proper lighting is provided. –While using this machine, take care not to cause damage to people or objects. –Do not bump into shelves or scaffoldings, especially where there is a risk of falling objects. –Do not lean liquid containers on the machine, use the relevant can holder. –The machine working temperature must be between +32°F e 104°F (0°C e +40°C). –The machine storage temperature must be between +32°F e 104°F (0°C e +40°C). –The humidity must be between 30% and 95%. –When using floor cleaning detergents, follow the instructions on the labels of the detergent bottles. –To handle floor cleaning detergents, wear suitable gloves and protections. –Do not allow the brushes to operate while the machine is stationary to avoid damaging the floor. –In case of fire, use a powder fire extinguisher, not a water one. –Do not tamper with the machine safety guards and follow the ordinary maintenance instructions –scrupulously.Do not allow any object to enter into the openings. Do not use the machine if the openings are clogged. –Always keep the openings free from dust, hairs and any other foreign material which could reduce the air flow. Do not remove or modify the plates affixed to the machine. –This machine cannot be used on roads or public streets. –Pay attention during machine transportation when temperature is below freezing point. The water in the –recovery tank or in the hoses could freeze and seriously damage the machine.Use brushes and pads supplied with the machine and those specified in the User Manual. Using other –brushes or pads could reduce safety.In case of machine malfunctions, ensure that these are not due to lack of maintenance. Otherwise, request –assistance from the authorised personnel or from an authorised Service Center.If parts must be replaced, require ORIGINAL spare parts from an Authorised Dealer or Retailer. –To ensure machine proper and safe operation, the scheduled maintenance shown in the relevant chapter of –this Manual, must be performed by the authorised personnel or by an authorised Service Center.Do not wash the machine with direct or pressurised water jets, or with corrosive substances. –The machine must be disposed of properly, because of the presence of toxic-harmful materials (battery, etc.), –which are subject to standards that require disposal in special centres (see Scrapping chapter on the User Manual).
